    Very Delicious. I cut back on the cinnamon a little only because I love tasting more banana. I've made this dish twice in three weeks and the only I would suggest is making sure the bananas are very ripe.

    This is one of most favorite cake recipes. It is a huge hit everytime I make it. The last time I made this for my 6'7" son that was home on leave from Afghanistan, walked into the kitchen and he was inhaling it. He said mom this is my favorite..... I am baking it tomorrow for the womens wine group. I trust anything sweet from Paula Deen and know its going to make a huge hit. Thanks!!

    I make this cake as cupcakes, and they are my very favorite cupcakes. The pecans in the cream cheese frosting are amazing.

    My family uses this recipe all of the time! Everyone comments on how tasty the cake is. I normally leave out the nuts when taking it to an event that might have peanut allergies.

    Paula, been watching you for years, or at least before Michael and don't remember seeing you make this cake. It was excellent, moist, tender, light and tasted like bananas! I was worried about the cinnamon but you can hardly taste it. It did taste like a cake not a bread, totally enjoyed it. I baked it in the 3-9" pans but since there is only the two of us I frosted one layer and froze the other two for future use, hope it doesn't ruin it! I do agree with hitman4jesus_12, could have used more frosting, so I just adjusted the recipe, that works! Thank you for another hit!

    Ok, so I read all the reviews and some concerned me and some didn't. Some said it was just another Banana Bread. Some said it wasn't enough for 3 9" cake pans. I don't know about all that but I made sure I had 3 large eggs, maybe would use 4 if they were kind of small. And I made sure I mashed my banana's and that I had 4 large ones,,, saying all that I wish I could upload pictures of them because there are 3 gorgeous layers of banana cake that look and taste like cake and not bread. Exact words from my kids were,,, "Uhh Dad give me some more of that stuff" If I do anything differently next time, it will be make extra icing because I like lots of icing between layers. Oh yeah ladies did I say I was a man, so for you ladies that could not get this cake to work,,,,, You just got man handled,, maybe you should give up cooking and join me to watch Nascar and Football. You go Paula,, keep em coming like this!!!

    I read the reviews prior to making this cake and went with adding 1 T of baking soda to each cup of flour in addition to 1/2 C. of sour cream. Not sure I'd add that much baking soda again. I felt I could taste it too much. I think I'll try it without next time, but will definitely make it again. Also, it didn't rise the way normal cakes do. Actually it had a dip in the middle which I filled with frosting but I know my baking soda was fresh, had only purchased it a week prior. Any ideas as to what caused that?
